Liverpool have asked Egypt to drop Mo Salah from their next international squad. 

It's so that the winger can continue his recovery from injury.  

Salah has been out of action since mid-last month, after he aggravated a thigh problem that he first picked up while on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.  

He has missed 4 matches for Liverpool, including their EFL Cup final win over Chelsea.
